Yanukovych slouching with no detail left to the imagination. The painting has swept to fame
in the revolution that forced Yanunkovych to flee the country in February.

Trucked-in Chinook: Fingerling Chinook salmon jump out of the water as they are dumped into
a holding pen after being transferred from a truck into the Sacramento River in Rio Vista,

journey. The fish usually make the trip on their own, but the low water would greatly
increase their risk of being eaten by predators.
